Report: Jerry Jones Asks Court to Dismiss Paternity Case, Cites Alleged Extortion Attempt by Plaintiff

Jerry Jones and his legal team have requested the dismissal of a paternity case filed against him earlier this month after alleging the plaintiff, Alexandra Davis, attempted to extort the Cowboys owner for money prior to filing the lawsuit, according to a report from ESPN.

The request was made Monday in Dallas County court, and alleged Davis, a 25-year-old congressional aide, was involved in one of ”multiple monetary extortion attempts” against Jones and the team.

According to Jones’s lawyers, Davis sent a draft of the lawsuit to the 79-year-old on an unspecified date prior to filing on March 3, and asked if he would “make a deal” to “assure that he would not be publicly or privately identified” as her father.
